Episode 87: What Suddenly This After Devil! Julia Tutko-Balena Download Co nagle to po diable! English Phonemes: “tsoh NAH-gleh toh poh DYAH-bleh” Literal Translation: What suddenly this after devil. Elegant Translation: What is sudden is modeled after the devil. English Equivalent: Look before you leap. This wee'k’s phrase is warning us that rushing into things only causes bigger problems. Ten episodes ago (Episode 77), I taught you “śpiesz się powoli”, which means “hurry slowly” and is closest to the English phrase “haste makes waste”. Today’s phrase is a common continuation of the “hurry slowly” idea, as if to say “hurry slowly, because if you rush without thinking, everything turns to crap”. Though today’s phrase is stand-alone, you might hear it paired with the lesson from episode 77, which is why I’m linking to that episode. Co = what Nagle = suddenly, sudden [adv.] To = this Po = after, like [preposition, sometimes also a comparison word] Diable = devil [obj. form, s. noun] Episode 77 - Śpiesz się powoli! Email us!
